About this property
Modern Rustic Cabin with Denali View
Are you looking for the experience of a rustic Alaskan cabin with modern comforts to enjoy with family and friends? Want something close to Denali National Park but away from the crowds? Would you like to increase your chances of seeing Mount Denali? Reindeer Mountain Cabin is all of that and more. Built in the 1974, the cabin has unique carvings at the ends of the roof purlins and on the front porch, with views of Mount Denali and the Talkeetna Range. It is located a beautiful 27 mile drive south of Denali National Park. While a view of Denali can be elusive to summer visitors, at our cabin, you can step out on the porch at any hour to see if the mountain is on display.
Reindeer Mountain Cabin is approximately 1200 SF and has two bedrooms, each with one queen size bed. One bedroom has a full en suite bathroom. The second full bathroom has a washer and dryer and is located off of the hallway for ease of access. There is a queen sleeper sofa in the living room, with plenty of seating and views of the Talkeetna Mountains. The kitchen is stocked with basic pantry staples and condiments.
The cabin was originally part of Reindeer Mountain Lodge, built in the 70's and ran until the 90's, servicing the workers that built the intertie through our area. After sitting abandoned and full of storage for over a decade, the deteriorating lodge was deconstructed and the cabin was gutted and renovated. While some deconstruction currently continues on the property between guests, no work will occur while guests are in the cabin.
A greenhouse on the property has been renovated from its previous life as the original Cantwell state trooper post and single jail cell, and now provides a dining area to escape the mosquitos and cool evenings.

About the host
Hosted by Calvin and Jennifer Carlson
Calvin grew up in Cantwell and I moved here in 2006. We purchased Reindeer Mountain Lodge in 2017 from its original owner and began the slow process of cleaning up the property. While the main hotel rooms had sat empty for many years, was in disrepair, and will eventually deconstructed, the beautiful attached log cabin was salvaged and renovated.
